Happy New Year!

So the year has come to a close. It’s very bittersweet (well that’s my mood anyway). I really didn’t know what my post would be about but I’ve certainly been through a lot this year. As you know, 2008 was my worst year ever, this year was a little better but still filled with deception, tribulations, and heartbreaks.

I also think that resolutions are silly unless they are started right away. However here are my goals for 2010:

Learn a new language (programming and spoken)

Travel to more places

Meet new people/life-long friendships

Keep my heart open to let love in (that seemed difficult to do but I’ve managed to all through 2009).

As a technophile, I enjoy immersing in new technology and provide consultation in using them for brands that I work on. I am also a published illustrator who draws on my iPad during my commute (as @commuteartist on Instagram) which led to Viola Davis owning piece of my artwork! I have also been an illustration contributor for ESPN and I am an Adobe Brand Ambassador. In my spare time, I train for ultramarathons (running up to 50 miles) and trains for half ironman triathlons. I also volunteer for organizations that are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)-related and elevate Women—especially those of color.
